Thank you so much Lori

I am sorry to say that "pet Quality" partridge boy, Leo, you saw here in May was killed protecting his white rock girls and Jet the little black silkie baby I got from you...she survived but 2 white rocks were killed.

I don't have partridges at all any more, but am building a buff silkie flock, and eventaully will have whites as well. Poor Leo....

Well, I'm collecting more eggs from Nugget and Hope, and if by some miracle, Dusty and Meg start laying again in the next few days, I'll take them, too. They'll be going in the bator as soon as this current hatch is over, along with more of June's, Shadow's and whatever I have of the D'Anvers I got before Aimee and Penny went broody.

Today is Day 19 and both of Shadow's eggs were pipped first thing this morning. This will be a long, drawn out hatch with such early pipping, then the standards that may not hatch until the end of Day 21 or beginning of Day 22.

Shadow is a mama! First one is out! Looks bluish, but that would mean it's lavender so one of the porcelain males is the sire. Feathered legs and rose comb! Yippeeee!

Boy that was fast! Is that normal for them?

I don't know. Never had one of Shadow's babies here (she's a lav Cochin). The D'Anvers aren't even pipped yet. On second glance, I'm not sure of the color. It has lots of white, but it may be black. Will have to wait for it to really dry.

Very pretty! I am so dumb..... I didn't even know there were Lavender Cochins!
I do love the pretty lavender color.

There are plenty of Lavender bantams of several breeds; of course, many call it Self Blue, as you know, but they are easier to find in bantam than standard. I don't care for lavender in large fowl, personally. This one does appear to have been sired by Aubrey or Angus, from the light color-it's finally drying off enough to tell that it is not black.

Awwwww it is a baby DIVA.


Lori, Leo stayed around here because he was just an awesome pet. He had a couple silkie girls and 6 white rocks that adored him...he thought he was the MAN. But he was very Brave, he dis your flock proud. He loved his girls and I would have 10 more of him ... great boy. I miss my hippie rocker rooster...his loving nickname...he reminded me of an old hippie and rocker. LOL
